Are You a Road Warrior? Visit Your Chiropractor to Stay Healthy
Traveling salesmen, or "road warriors", spend hours sitting on airplanes, sitting in meetings, being exposed to thousands of people who may have an infectious illness and not getting enough sleep due to jet lag. In addition, road warriors tend to "eat on the run" (fast food, vending machine snacks), which may cause weight gain, heartburn, and increasing cholesterol levels. Companies employing traveling salesmen may have programs to promote employee wellness, such as onsite gyms or stop smoking campaigns, but most road warriors don't have the time or the energy to take advantage of these programs. As a doctor specializing in whole-body health, your chiropractor offers adjustments, massage therapy, nutritional/fitness counseling and other chiropractic techniques to help you maintain good health while on the job as a road warrior.
VibraFlex for Muscle Pain
Not getting enough exercise while traveling can lead to a host of health issues, including tight, stressed muscles and joint soreness. RxWellness Spine and Health chiropractor recommends regular sessions with VibraFlex, a state-of-the-art treatment for relaxing tense muscles and easing body pain. VibraFlex uses vibration generated at a frequency beneficial to your musculoskeletal system. By causing involuntary muscle contractions, VibraFlex not only relieves muscle soreness but also help increase muscle tone and strength.
Spinal Adjustments
When your vertebrae are not correctly aligned, they could press against nerves and cause a variety of health problems due to a dysfunctional nervous system. Compressed nerves are incapable of normal nerve signaling, which results in back/shoulder pain, chronic headaches, allergies and lack of energy. In fact, your respiratory and immune systems rely significantly on correct communication between your spinal cord and brain. Nerve compression caused by a misaligned spine will directly affect your ability to fight off illnesses and make you vulnerable to environmental or seasonal allergies.
